I’ve been told there are no kits available to do a 3” lift on the 2023 Tahoe Z71 with air suspension and mag ride. Is there anyone that’s has done so??? Please advise thank you.

I paid cash for my new '23 Z71 Tahoe and hate to tell you this but found out afterwards that I couldn't lift it except for the link arms extensions. I bought these and haven't found a single shop willing to put them on. I was repeatedly told the air ride system is nothing they are willing to mess with. I haven't done anything to my Tahoe incase I sell it. I was, and am still pissed. I spoke to ready lift to find out if the 69-31301 3" lift kit part would work and was told that they think it would but they haven't done one so they can't say for sure. I even offered them to take my Tahoe for a month to figure it out because they had a R&D facility near me. The main decision maker said that they have to worry about trucks first. I was shocked because as you know the Tahoe is the number 1 selling SUV. I am thinking about trading it in for another Tahoe without air ride or going back to a truck 2500HD. Sorry for the bad news. Good luck. If I decide to install those myself, i will update the post.

Your best bet might be with a "mom and pop" suspension shop to do the installation. I only have the Magna-ride but when I wanted my 14 wide wheels to fit, I had to find a shop that would install my Ready-Lift kit, and a different shop to cut into the fender to allow the 24x14 wheels to turn. Those kind of shops are more willing to take your money and give you what you want, versus a franchise shop that might worry more about being sued or ruining their reputation if something goes wrong than just taking your money.
